Does food get caught in the nonskid base? (Is the base silicone?)
4941
I've never had any problems with food getting caught in the base. I'm not sure if it's 100% silicone, but it's def. that type of material/rubber.

Food does not get caught in base. Base is silicone & removable for cleaning as needed. This item seems to be a quality product to us. Hope this helps!

Silicone? - it's a rubber product - I've bought 3 of these, one for me and 2 for family members. I love it - after I use it, I rinse it off and stick it into the dishwasher. The bottom grip keeps the grater secure, blades are sharp - I use it constantly.

A little bit, but a quick rinse before throwing it in the dishwasher gets it right out. Has not been a big deal for me. Don't know if silicone. Feels soft like rubber, but I'm not sure. I'm latex allergic but haven't had any reaction.

If any food gets caught, is when I grade some cheese, sometimes the cheese will on occasion get stuck on the part of the grader. As far as anything else goes, I have no clue because I have yet to grade something other than cheese with it.

No it doesn't. We mostly just grate cheese and haven't had that issue. We absolutely love this grater!

Yes both tray and top are silicone. Bend easily and food pops right out, unlike hard-bottom ice-cube style trays, in my experience.

Nope. Silicone must be removed. Curses to anyone who used silicone as it is a PITA :(

I mentioned in my review - the food does stick more than the silicone ones. But they are nonstick and fairly easy to clean. I usually scrape the spatula clean on the edge of the pan.

My wife says it does not. I am not allowed to touch much in the kitchen unless it is already to eat. :)

The inner cover has an aluminum base. It will never come in contact with the food due to the polished stainless steel inner lid in between. The steam that passes through the inner lid is also is directed to the overflow cup and not back into the food.

The upper section is a food-grade silicone similar to other "oven safe" silicone baking trays or cooking utensils. That isn't the issue.The bottom however feels more like a regular TPA material, similar to the polymers used in typical Rubbermaid and tupperwear containers.

There is no added coating. It's a flexible silicone mould with a very shiny smooth surface. The food material will not stick to it. Silicone inherrently has non stick properties and you will see it used in many other applications just because of this.

Yes it does. Not sure if it's silicone tho. Maybe something else cause its kinda sticky.

No, there is a recessed base on the upper section that holds it in place. The onion section does not have that kind of base. The lid does fit either section.

No. The food can still go off,but I believe the purpose of the silicone is more for it not sliding around as other placemats do. Also those auctions bowls and plates work wonderful on this. I just got a second one for the Grandkids at my house.

I didn't notice that with my pan. Be sure you get the HIC brand. It's all silicone and not a mix of other "stuff."

No, I haven't had any problems with separation, and I've had it for a while now. I even accidentally cut a part of the silicone, and that hasn't caused any separation. I always wash mine by hand, though, and I allow it to air dry.

I have two of these, in different sizes. I have NEVER tasted silicon in my food. I have overcooked, on occasion, and even then, there was no silicon taste. I usually do salmon in this with butter and dill and it comes out perfectly. Vegetables are also great. And I use these at least twice a week. As an aside, I put them in the dishwasher and they come out like new. I highly recommend the Lekue!

It is not recommended to place silicone cooking items in contact with direct heat. I would recommend still using a cookie sheet underneath.

Don't think so...the silicone is about an eighth of an inch thick, somewhat substantial.

Yes, there is silicone (or whatever soft material this is) inside the kettle, where the base connects with the glass. It's just a few millimeters wide, but it is there. One probably would not see it, but it's easy to feel with the fingernail.
